Foreign Ambassadors to China

In the 1980s there were no readily available multi-country lists of ambassadors to or from the People's Republic. As part of my Sophia University course on the PRC's external relations, I thought it useful to examine the biographies of actual ambassadorial appointees and to have students attempt to deduce the qualifications for such postings. Hence the compilation of this list. I leave it to others to update this and the other associated lists.
